The Isle of Man 2025

Situated in the middle of the Irish Sea, and dating back to 650 BC, the Isle of Man has some stunning scenery with a rugged coastline and towering peaks.  A full day’s tour of the North of the island includes a visit to Laxey for a view of the iconic “Lady Isabella”, the world’s largest working water-wheel and a visit to Ramsey. There is a day at leisure in Douglas, and a full day’s tour of the South includes a train ride to Port Erin, a visit to the Cregneash National Folk Museum, for an insight into traditional Manx farming and the croft way of life.  Also allocated is time in Peel, the best example of a typical Manx town.
